Terminology for things like Really Impressive Title
 
So because the title does not have a value, it is technically not an item, correct? Even though it is on the table along with the rest of your items. Is there an official term for cards that exist in that state? Besides "not items" that is :)

This came up during a game where I got Bad Stuff'd (or was it cursed?) to lose the item that gave me the biggest bonus and even though technically the Title isn't an item, it was argued that it gave me my best bonus and thus should be discarded.

If it has a value printed on the card (even "no value") then it is an item.

Yes but the errata states that the title (which in my deck has "No Value") will be losing that tag completely, thus rendering it no longer an item.

Yes, but Really Impressive Title has been errata'd. It is NOT an Item. What it is, is a free-floating bonus that doesn't have a more specific name.

So if something says "lose the item that gives you the biggest bonus" the Title wouldn't count, correct?

If something says "lose the CARD that gives you the biggest bonus" it would

Exactly right. Really Impressive Title (and Theme Music, and a few other cards) aren't Items.

It is a treasure card.

It is a non-Item, non-special Treasure card.

See also the thread "Item Definition" for examples of other, similar, cards.

Please clarify. The Really Impressive Title is not an item. So it can't be thieved and you don't lose it when you die. Correct? Is there any way a person can lose the Really Impressive Title?

You can lose it when you die. It not being an Item doesn't mean you don't lose it when you die.
